MCGARIGLE IN MANITOBA.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 26.-Albert
Chapman, an old acquaintance of Nc
Carlyle, says he saw the fugitive hood
Ter in the Milwaukee s. st. Paul depot
in this city Sunday morning. McGari-
gle gave him the cut, as at the time
Chapman was not aware of McGarigle'S
escape. Timothy ]. Hadly, who was
also at the depot, says he overhead two
rough workingmen talking about gen.
tleman with small sachel who was
passing. One of them said
it was McGarigle, the boss hood
Ter. Mr.. Hadly's curiosity was
excited and he followed McGarigle
down the platform. ''When he per-
ceiVed was watching him, he turned
around and walked toward me,
eyeing me in very embarrassing man
ner, and turned away. His walking
back and looking me in the eyes was a
very nervy bluff. | was too much an
noyed by the incident to see what train
| he took, if any," said Hadley. Later
advices confirm the impression prevail
ing in Milwaukee that the Chicago
| fugitive crossed the border late Mon
day night and is now in Manitoba.
